The Son of Heaven's Six-Horse Museum brings the luxurious chariot procession of the Zhou dynasty's emperor right before your eyes!

I'm here to reveal a hidden gem that you absolutely must not miss—the Zhou Royal City Son of Heaven's Six-Horse Museum! If you're in Luoyang to explore ancient history and rituals, this place is definitely worth your time. As soon as you step into the museum, it's as if you can travel through time and return to the majestic era of the Eastern Zhou dynasty. Although the museum is not large in scale, it's packed with substantial content! What is the 'Son of Heaven's Six-Horse' chariot? Simply put, it refers to the emperor's travel with a luxurious chariot drawn by six fine horses. This topic, which once sparked controversy in ancient texts, is corroborated here with physical evidence. Just imagine the scene of the Zhou emperor's procession, with the gleaming chariots and the whinnying of horses—it's truly awe-inspiring! In addition to the 'Son of Heaven's Six-Horse' chariot team, the museum also displays the archaeological findings of the Eastern Zhou royal city, giving us a deeper understanding of the culture and history of that period. Moreover, the museum educates about the 'Zhou dynasty's hierarchical ritual system,' helping us to better comprehend the clearly defined social strata of the time. 🐶In the chariot and horse pit, I also saw seven sacrificial dogs, one of which was desperately trying to escape, a sight that is both heart-wrenching and moving. Standing in front of the chariot and horse burial pit, closing your eyes, you can almost hear the distant sound of horse hooves and feel the profound sense of history.
